Tears of Another
Quietly awakening…
I
always, always wish
That
these fleeting thoughts…
Would
reach you…
He
took my hand
And
said those words
The
words I was always…
Afraid
of…
I
wanted nothing more
Than
to hear those words
But
I could not say them back…
Not
yet
His
eyes began to water
As
he waited
Waited
Waited
For
my reply
But
got none.
Stupid
heart!
I
wanted to scream
But
my lips were sealed
I
could say nothing
Come
on!
Say
something!
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Please!
I
only gasped
Drew
in a breath
Felt
my shoulders tense
His
grasp tightened
He
pulled me in
The
sweetest kiss
A
warm embrace
Will
I kiss back?
The
embrace held
What
was I to do?
Say
something.
Anything.
He
pleaded
Pleaded
Pleaded
I
pulled away
And
gazed at him
Those
sharp emerald eyes
How
they longed!
I
stammered
Hesitated
Feeling
alone…
Confused.
I
couldn't explain
How
could he…
Make
saying that…
Look
so easy?
It
meant so much…
To
me
How
did I feel?
I
love you too.
